DepEd expects 90% of public schools to hold face-to-face classes

The Department of Education (DepEd) said on Monday, August 22, that when classes resume, it is anticipating about 90 percent of more than 47,000 public schools from across the country to hold face-to-face classes.

About 10 percent will still be blended, and we will be coordinating with the local government units (LGUs) to ensure that they will also allow face-to-face classes,

Education Chief of Staff and Undersecretary Epimaco Densing III said during a press briefing.
